I have for a long time been fan to the idea of getting rid of books.. I hate the waste of trees, space and sheer weight of a good library. I love the idea that I can take EVERY book I own, heck every book in the word with me where ever I go. Along comes the computer, seems like a good fit can store millions of books, pretty light weight (until you try to read a book on it that is), and man is it hard to concentrate on the text of a computer screen for the long periods needed to read an entire book.

Well today I believe I have seen the future..

This new invention looks like it will be a huge step towards what I am looking for, I will need to see battery life on such a thin device, it will need to stay charged for 8 hours minimum, the screen while easy to read should not be too bright as to give me headaches like the computer screen. The type size needs to be big enough for me not to squint and it needs to stay cool in my hand, I don't need third degree burn while trying to read a book or magazine or heck (this thing does it) read office documents off my computer.

All in all, I will be watching this device VERY closely and when it hits stores, I will start reading the reviews. I want one, I want one, I want one.. (as long as it lives up to all of my fantasy expectations that is)

With all the political mumbo-jumbo going on lately, I like many of you have been asked where I stood, am I a Dem or a Republican. I was informed that there was really only one right answer. So I thought and thought and what it really boils down to is that I disagree with both parties. The Dems are bunch of wimps and treehuggers, and the republicans with their war mongering, don't fit what I want.. So I decided to turn to the Internet and let the great and all powerful net help me.

I took the below listed partyfinder quiz.. And it looks like I was right, I am Libertarian.. I was and still am a fan of Ron Paul who never had a chance but was a Republican Candidate that spoke exactly what was on my mind... Less government, caring about OUR country and not spending billions on other countries and on and on and on..

Here is a list of the questions that the website asked and these are my answers..

decrease regulation of radio, TV, press, and Internet content.decrease regulation of licensed gun ownership.maintain regulation of the health care industry.decrease regulation of minimum worker wages, and benefits.decrease regulation of hiring practices, and quota legislation.increase restrictions on immigration.decrease regulations on use of natural resources.decrease regulations on use of private property.decrease regulation of marijuana and other drugs.decrease regulations on sex by consenting adults.maintain restrictions on abortion.decrease subsidies for the poor.increase subsidies for scientific research.decrease subsidies for businesses and farms.increase regulations on lobbying and campaign financing.decrease federal involvement in public education.maintain federal involvement in entitlement programs.decrease federal law enforcement agencies.decrease subsidies for foreign democracies.decrease military defense of other nations.decrease US commitment to the United Nations.decrease taxes on personal income.maintain taxes on corporate income.decrease taxes on gifts and inherited wealth.increase taxes on imported goods (tariffs).
